Jeremiah 32:17
The Mann Center rents our facilities to church groups, school groups, private citizens,
and others as long as they adhere to our policy of letting your actions glorify God.
At its May 29 meeting, the Executive Council approved the following motion:
Effective August 1, 2025, operations at the W.W. Mann Center will be suspended to enable the development of a comprehensive and inclusive plan for its future by the Strategic Planning Committee, consistent with the ongoing strategic planning process of the Ogeechee River Baptist Association.
For some time now, the Mann Center has been operating at a deficit. This situation has become unsustainable and could not be allowed to continue.
By formally empowering the Strategic Planning Committee in this way, the Executive Council acknowledges the importance of establishing a clear and unified vision for the association. As this team continues its work—seeking God’s direction and vision for our future—your prayers and encouragement are deeply appreciated.
If you have any questions or would like to talk, I would be glad to connect with you.
Grace and peace,
Jeff

Nestled in the woods on the outskirts of Brooklet, Georgia on approximately 75 acres, you will find the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. As a ministry of the Ogeechee River Baptist Association, the Mann Center provides a serene, isolated and worshipful atmosphere for all that come. Whether you just want to get away for a day picnic, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay, the Mann Center is the place for you.
The Mann Center has overnight cabins that sleep up to 25 people, a small dining hall/meeting room that will accommodate approximately 60 guests, a larger dining hall/meeting room that will seat approximately 170 people, a chapel that can hold approximately 100 worshipers, a lodge with private rooms, a gazebo, and an amphitheater.
The Mann Center also has 2 fishing ponds (no fishing license required), a creek for fishing, and a swimming pond. Other recreational options include: a full size basketball court, regulation volleyball court, horse shoe pits, an athletic field, and a large playground.
We like to think that the Mann Center is a “little piece of heaven” where folks can get away from the “hustle and bustle” of everyday life and relax, meditate, pray, or just “recoup” from the stress and strain of our fast-paced society.
We have PLENTY of firewood available here, so if any of you need any just call me (912-531-2946).
We thank God from whom all blessings flow, and HE has truly blessed us here at the Mann Center.
We still cherish your prayers and support.
Mike Sparks
